Most small LLM applications don't need a state graph framework. I know this because I used LangGraph in 8 out of 10 AI projects I built—and eventually replaced it in most of them. I want to be clear upfront: LangGraph is well-built software. The team behind it is sharp, the abstractions are thoughtful, and for genuinely complex multi-agent workflows, it earns its place. This isn't a takedown. It's a case for matching tools to problem size. What Pulled Me In The graph
